BANGKOK: Thailand has named a panel to pick a new central bank chief, kickstarting a months-long process to find a successor to incumbent governor Sethaput Suthiwartnarueput, whose rocky five-year tenure comes to an end in September.
Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira has appointed former bureaucrat Sathit Limpongpan to chair the seven-member selection committee, said Pornchai Thiraveja, a ministry spokesman, who has also been named the panel’s secretary. The other members are also retired bureaucrats.
